Spain Secures Euro 2024 Semi-Final Berth with Thrilling Win Over Germany
Spain edged past Germany 2-1 in extra time to book their place in the Euro 2024 semi-finals. Mikel Merino's towering header in the 119th minute proved the decisive moment, sending Spain into raptures.
The match was a masterclass in drama and tension, with both teams creating chances in a frenetic contest. Spain's Dani Olmo opened the scoring in the 51st minute, only for Florian Wirtz to level for Germany in the 89th minute. With the score deadlocked at 1-1, the match hurtled into extra time.
Despite Germany's valiant efforts, Spain's Merino rose highest to meet a corner kick, his header crashing into the net to send the Spanish bench into delirium. The victory came at a cost, however, as Dani Carvajal was dismissed in the dying seconds of the match, receiving a second yellow card for a rash challenge.
Spain's semi-final opponent will be either France or Portugal, with the two teams set to clash in the remaining quarter-final tie. .
